Although rarely used on English clocks, velvet-covered dials with separately attached engraved and silvered chapter rings are not infrequently found in certain European bracket clocks produced towards the end of the 17th century. These clocks had somewhat plain, architectural or rectangular cases and were known as religieuse clocks in France and Haagse klokje in Holland. Also mounted on the deep blue or wine-colored velvet, just below the chapter ring, was a cartouche bearing the maker's name. A more elaborate bas-relief mount is also found in which a gilded or silvered figure of Father Time with his scythe supports the cartouche.
